Who Are "Los Demonios" ?

Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Vanguardia and InSightCrime
      "Los Demonios" are the new and bloodthirsty criminal cell of the Sinaloa Cartel charged with                                                                            "Dirty work''
April 12, 2019
The appearance of this cell is relatively new, and although it does not appear in the list of splits of the Sinaloa Cartel, it is one of the most important for this criminal organization.

Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada has strengthened the power of the Sinaloa Cartel , with cells loyal to the criminal group, one of them is "Los Demonios" , as well as the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, who is in a prison American, as highlighted in an InSight Crime report .

"Los Demonios" acts as the armed wing of the Sinaloa cartel , the publication highlights. Plus, after the arrest of Juan Guadalupe Jacobo Regalado, alias "El J3" or "El Chepa" , leader of the criminal cell, an important route of drugs and weapons operating between Nogales Sonora and Phoenix, Arizona has been discovered.

The authorities in the United States have been alerted of movements of the Sinaloa cartel and their with criminal cells.

"We are here for what belongs to us" as the Sinaloa Cartel intensifies the offensive against the CJNG, who has become the most powerful criminal organization in Mexico.


"El Chepa",  was heavily guarded by elements of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), the Federal Police and the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic (FGR).

The uniformed, heavily armed and hooded authorities took him from his home in Culiacán, Sinaloa , boarding  him onto an AIC vehicle for the  transfer to the FGR facilities in the state when he was arrested April 4. 

After the revelation of  the arrest of ''El Chepa'' it was confirmed that his operations center is located in Nogales, Sonora, in Mexico; while in the United States he operates in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona.
     "Los Demonios" responded particularly to the orders of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, "El Chapo" .

Currently, the Sinaloa cartel is commanded by Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada , who takes the leadership of the criminal organization out of the shadow of "El Chapo".

Zambada García has divided the cartel into four wings: the first one led by himself, one more commanded by Jesús Alfredo and Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, "Los Chapitos"; the third one headed by Aureliano Guzmán Loera, "El Guano"; and the last one directed by an old acquaintance of organized crime: Rafael Caro Quintero, "El Narco de Narcos".

More from InSightCrime:

In May 2018 three members of Los Demonios were arrested , including the second in command of the group, but they were not included in the Sinaloa Cartel cell list published by the authorities around the same time.

These cells act mostly as armed arms of the Sinaloa Cartel, offering security against threats from rival groups in specific territories, or controlling criminal economies, such as drug trafficking and extortion.

Some of these cells also seemed to respond directly to specific Sinaloa leaders. While it is believed that Los Demonios are loyal to "El Chapo", the new leader, Ismael Zambada García, alias "El Mayo", is close to "Los Cabrera", a band led by a family from Durango.

It has been difficult to know the specific formation of these cells. For example, there is contradictory information about whether one of these groups, the "Cartel del Poniente", is still affiliated with the Sinaloa Cartel, or whether it was changed sides and linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

Given that "El Chapo" has left the scene, "El Mayo" has become the new leader of the Sinaloa group , with the support of the children of Guzmán Loera, known as "Los Chapitos".

But the revelation of the reach of "Los Demonios" in the United States, even though little was known about them before the arrest of "El Chepa", indicates that the Sinaloa Cartel continues to depend on specific cells in charge of territories or criminal economies, which respond to a central command.

After the fall of "El Chapo" , the Sinaloa Cartel has managed to project a unified image of control under the leadership of "El Mayo", maintaining a strong structure, while other criminal groups have fragmented .

Ensuring the continued loyalty of these cells, each in its own fort, has been key to the permanence of "El Mayo" in power.

  1. Curious... which flag does el memo fall under these days? Does he still run Sonoita or is he on to bigger and better things.

  2. And yet despite the evidence of its criminal activities the Mexican government has declined to label these groups terrorists.
    Is it because the Mexican government itself is the terrorist?

    Food for thought

    2. Mexican Criminals are not terrorists until they graduate collidge with a PhD and a charter to live off.
      Same as on the US... pero en peisos

    3. Labeling groups as terrorists leads to killing millions of innocent Mexicans and having to esplain they were collateral casualties and their fault for being too close to the targets. It usuay brings in the 4 horsemen of Apocalypse riding their famous horses Conquest, War, Famine, and Plague.

    4. Mexican government and United States government are all co-conspirators of the cartels.. Without they're full pledge participation the cartels would have trouble operating.

  6. Mayo cant keep cds together, there is a cell in Sonora that switched to cjng. Mayo is overrated and his people keep switching to cjng for fear of getting a cap in their nachas.. mayo is no chapo, people respected and feared chapo but not mayo.the power of Sinaloa has ended, now it's michoacanos that run the show but who knows if mayo will actually win this war. Either way it's going to be michoacan against Sinaloa until someone gets the upper hand. Michoacanos went independent after chapo went north, only viagras are allied with cds to go on the offensive against mencho. A struggle of a tuggle war until someone gets that leverage... just saying

    5. 9:38; Wow there are some very naive people that comment on what they don't know! Mayo has not had any setbacks with people or infrastructure in the TJ plaza. Why do you think there are regular busts going up carretera 15 on the way to TJ from Culiacan?

  7. Los Demonios are the antichrist of society. A cult which partakes in demonic acts opposing christianity.
    Engaging in pure evil with a touch of a hand. Spewing black filth onto its victims.

    Geez what's next.

  13. Los Demonios are Special Operations commando team whose main mission is "Dirty Work" assasination of high targets such as leader of other cartels and super secret black ops.

    Los Demonios were trained by a Delta Force Colonel and several CAG operators and Navy Seal Team 6 who work as consultants for CDS. One of these guys is worth like 20 regular sicarios. They have the latest vehicles bulletproof armor and the best weapons similar to the ones used by Gente Nueva Special Forces. We have worked together on some missions. By the way they dont work for El Chavo Felix . Their orders come directly from Ivan Archivaldo and El Sr Mayo Zambada.

    Gente Nueva Special Forces X Los Demonios X Antrax Black Ops .

  15. ONE big leader Chapo and a handful of regional capos from CDS captured in a period of a dozen years or so and this is "impressive" that the cartel is still united?
    All other cartels lost three or more leaders like almost the entire Lazcano family from Zetas as well as almost all the Carillos from CDJ and all the Arellanos from Tijuana as well as countless capos amd shit from all of them.
    THIS is why those cartels fragmented.
    Who is ANYONE (DEA, CIA, MEXICAN GOVERNMENT ETC...), trying to fool saying they struck a "HEAVY" BLOW to CDS with Chapos capture???

  24. They must be really desperate if they are hyping up el j3 to be some important leader within CDS. Yes, his crew dominate half of Nogales but that's about it hes just another plaza head that had to flee to culiacan after it got too hot in Nogales. Hes not new but hes also not an old head but unlike other traffickers he keeps his head down. Hes also one of El Chavo Felix people another trafficker whos smart enough to Move his product and not bother anyone.
